We drove up from Melaque last week to see the new store. It's a little smaller than most. There are a few things that you don't see in most Mexican ferreterías but it's also nice to see things layed out and priced

Griselda Alvarez Metropolitan Regional Park

This is a great little park not far from downtown with a mini-zoo, lakes, picnic areas, lots of lawn and an elderly activity center. Just head off the north-west corner of the main plaza toward the Theatro Hidalgo and the Mercado and a few blocks beyond you'll cross the river. The bridge is Degollado street and just 3-4 blocks further is the park just past the Jorge Chávez Carrillo Contemporary Art Museum.
